Deaf and blind

A Poem by Michael Hof

A poem based on loss

Deaf and blind
I feel
In my mind

When I look upon that face
Beauty defined
Sexy refined

Memories restored
Vitality reborn
As I stare at the frame

The picture of you
tired and true
With beaming eyes and a wider smile

I remember your laugh
I hear it still
as I stare

Not much to do
Just me and this brew
Sitting here pondering about you

Where are you?
Where have been?
Is this a sin?

Hit by a car
You are now just a star
To keep the angels smiling

But here I wait
As if you'll come home late
Sadly, this isn't your fate

it is mine
